samueldr: any experience with mtk-su?
16:45
<
flokli >
hurrr… I'm trying get a proper rom onto a fire 7 tablet…
16:45
<
flokli >
it's painful
16:45
<
samueldr >
amonet may be easier
16:46
<
samueldr >
I do have one of the fire 7, that I was thinking of trying this onto
16:46
<
samueldr >
but ugh, hardware that locks you out
16:46
<
samueldr >
that should be illegal
16:47
<
flokli >
okay, seems I /have/ to crack open the case
16:47
<
flokli >
well, so be it
16:48
<
samueldr >
AFAIK it's safe, as in, you can always fix a brick that way, though my memory may be wrong here
16:48
<
samueldr >
one thing that is highly annoying: their naming scheme
16:48
<
flokli >
this thing seems to be a "mustang"
16:49
<
samueldr >
it's sooo annoying since you only see "hd 7" or "7" in forum posts
16:51
<
flokli >
oh wat, they made it even more annoying to crack open
16:54
<
samueldr >
I haven't looked at all that in details yet
16:54
<
flokli >
the plastic cover now goes all around over the back
16:55
<
samueldr >
ah, though that's not the mustang
16:55
<
samueldr >
each revision name like that is quite different
16:56
<
samueldr >
I don't know that there is an amonet for mustang though
16:56
<
samueldr >
ah, there may be, looking at something else
16:57
<
flokli >
screw it, I'll just return it
16:58
<
samueldr >
that's the proper thing to do imo if you still can
16:58
<
samueldr >
they have interesting hardware, especially at the price point, but dang it, the bootloader situation is bad :(
16:59
<
flokli >
well, I planned to prepare this as a video call device for a family member and ship it there configured
17:00
<
flokli >
but as it has playstore and I won't use skype, it's just going back.
17:00
<
flokli >
s/has/has no/
17:06
<
flokli >
I complained in the "reasons for returning" field
17:06
<
flokli >
maybe a human eventually reads that.

:/ I'm concerned my pinephone broke somehow
22:00
<
gchristensen >
oops.... ow... what happened? :(
22:00
<
samueldr >
I don't know
22:01
<
samueldr >
it stayed unused for over a week
22:01
<
samueldr >
tried to boot it and it doesn't
22:06
<
andi- >
battery dead?
22:06
<
samueldr >
it should work without one
22:06
<
samueldr >
that was my first thought
22:06
<
andi- >
Any kinds of signs?
22:06
<
samueldr >
I let it sit for 15 minutes
22:06
<
samueldr >
none at all
22:07
<
samueldr >
serial access silent
22:07
<
samueldr >
I can't remember if I did or did not erase its emmc
22:07
<
samueldr >
so I'll download a non-mobile-nixos image to validate
22:08
<
samueldr >
in the off-chance that somehow my fresh image doesn't boot
22:09
<
samueldr >
and no magic smoke smell either
22:10
<
andi- >
lesson learned: state in hardware is evil :)
22:15
<
samueldr >
it's concerning since it would mean that I have no way to progress
22:15
<
samueldr >
and more conerning: what kind of failure happened here??
22:24
<
samueldr >
the only thing I have in mind is the crazy static electricity here
22:25
<
samueldr >
never had anything dying though

is there a way to use a different compiler for kernel then gcc6
22:28
<
cidkid >
for nixos-mobile
22:28
<
cidkid >
gcc6 just spits out errors and stops when building mainline
22:29
<
samueldr >
just "kernel-builder" will use the current default stdenv's gcc
22:29
<
cidkid >
will keep that in mind
22:29
<
cidkid >
I'll try getting mainline booting tomorrow
22:29
<
samueldr >
asus-dumo uses a mainline kernel, too, if you want to look
22:29
<
cidkid >
as thats when I get my new PSU
22:29
<
cidkid >
*mainline booting on nix I mean
22:30
<
cidkid >
oh yeah and linux-firmware can just be enabled in local.nix yeah?
22:30
<
cidkid >
as bluetooth works but requires firmware from linux-firmware
22:32
<
samueldr >
there's some firmware stuff in asus-dumo
22:32
<
cidkid >
alright I'll take a look
22:35
<
samueldr >
two different kind of power supplies didn't work
22:35
<
samueldr >
but A-to-C on my computer did
22:40
<
samueldr >
same non-PD dumb power supply, different cable, worked
22:42
<
samueldr >
I suspect the cable I was using first was power-only
22:42
<
samueldr >
like, two connectors only
22:42
<
samueldr >
while I know the red cable shipping with the pinephone is not power only
22:42
<
samueldr >
though weird how it failed to boot with a PD compliant charger
22:42
<
samueldr >
it mustn't be able to negociate
22:45
<
cidkid >
does asus-dumo build a boot img or is it different
22:46
<
samueldr >
different
22:46
<
samueldr >
but the stage-1 stuff is the same even though there's no boot.img
22:47
<
samueldr >
the implementation detail of depthcharge vs. android-based boot are abstracted away
22:56
<
cidkid >
alright in theory it's added
22:57
<
cidkid >
don't have time atm to build
22:57
<
cidkid >
does the dtb=""; do anything in the device default.nix
22:58
<
samueldr >
I don't think it does anymore
22:58
<
samueldr >
I've not cleaned those up yet since it's a bigger task that's incoming
22:58
<
samueldr >
now that I have a good variety of devices, and experience, I should be able to inventory and redo those

23:01

on my 2G orange pi it's building fine
23:01
<
cidkid >
Hm, how do I define what dtb to build then for my device?
23:01
<
misuzu >
probably failing because of -j16 -l16
23:02
<
samueldr >
cidkid: oh, right, that's what you'd use
23:02
<
samueldr >
so I guess it's still in use
23:03
<
cidkid >
dtb = "${kernel}/arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/msm8998-dumpling.dts"; should work yeah?
23:03
<
samueldr >
if that's the path of the dts once built :)
23:03
<
samueldr >
that should be a dtb
23:04
<
samueldr >
I'm even more confused
23:04
* samueldr
checks correctly
23:04
<
samueldr >
I don't know about non-vendor kernels
23:04
<
samueldr >
can you make Image.gz-dtb ?
23:04
<
samueldr >
if you can, that's how it works
23:05
<
cidkid >
I will try when I get my new PSU
23:05
<
samueldr >
otherwise, it would need the dtb to be handled by mkbootimg I figure
23:05
<
samueldr >
vendor kernels deal with the dtb for recent devices
23:05
<
samueldr >
peeking at how postmarketOS does is another option to see what's needed
23:06
<
cidkid >
postmarketOS uses their envkernel.sh to do everything for mainline

probably some other memory-hungry builds are interfering

What browser works best on aarch64 from nixpkgs?

firefox? firefox-nightly-bin from mozilla-nixpkgs? a chromium build?

Can you chain boot into PXE? Does that question even make sense?
23:50
<
colemickens >
Like a super minimal SD card image that just boots into a bootloader that can download the image and boot into it? Or that can point to a custom PXE server without router config?
23:51
